From: Javier Cardona <[email protected]>
For forwarded frames, we save the precursor address in addr1 in case it
needs to be used to send a Path Error. mesh_path_discard_frame,
however, was using addr2 instead of addr1 to send Path Error frames, so
correct that and also make the comment regarding this more clear.
